Khanna Institute of Lasik

Booked a consultation, 2 days later I was in surgery, 1 day later I have ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision, 1 day later I’m doing Runyon Canyon seeing perfectly!
I was amazed at how quick recovery is.
Dr Khanna and his team are very thorough and tested my eyes a million different ways on different days to make sure my prescription was perfect.
On the day there was about 30 mins of more eye tests to get the prescription right, then the eye cleaning. This is the only bit that hurts. It’s some cleaning stuff that dribbles into your eyes to make them clean, and it stings. It’s bearable though!
The actual procedure is probably more low-​key than you would think. Was about 5 mins per eye and no pain.
After the surgery I couldn’t really open my eyes. So I kept them shut for the next few hours. For that 3 hours my eyes were not feeling great, but after the 3 hours the discomfort was gone and I could open my eyes a little to eat dinner.
Next morning I could see great. Eyes felt a little dry in the morning but by the afternoon I had forgotten I had surgery the day before. Amazing.
The next day I’m doing Runyon canyon seeing like never before! So stoked with the results. Turns out I got better than ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision.
So in summary it’s such a short term mild discomfort for amazing benefit. It’s basically 24hrs and you have the rest of your life to enjoy perfect eye sight. Only a few days after surgery I was saying how worth it it is.
I was referred to Dr Khanna by a friend who recommended all her friends and family. I can see why, I also recommend Dr Khanna!

I created a Unilocal account just to review him. AVOID. I was really turned off by this ‘medical practice’. A good doctor shouldn’t have to plaster his office with magazine covers, no-​name celebrity endorsements, and lame awards. The first thing he asked me as a new patient, who has mild kerotoconus, was «what insurance do you have?»… «oh, ok, they won’t cover surgery». End scene. Also, another great line he had was «how do you want me to help you?» You’re the doctor, you tell me! I feel like he knows exactly which insurance companies will pay him, and then brushes off patients who don’t have specific companies. Even his assistant was shady; telling me that «I’d go blind if I don’t have eye surgery.» I walked out and will never return.

Dr. Khanna is a fantastic surgeon and doctor. I have had to wear glasses for the past 20 years. I finally decided to go through with lasik, and the results are amazing. It has been less than a week since my procedure, and while 100% recovery is a long process, I am already seeing 20/​25, and my eyesight will only continue to improve with time. His entire office staff is knowledgeable, kind, care about you every step of the way.

Dr. Khanna did a great job on my surgery and was flexible with multiple locations i.e. Valley and LA. He’s on the cutting edge of technology and very personable as well.
Had a great experience with my procedure. No more contacts!

I was diagnosed with Keratoconus several years ago and was told my only option was hard contact lenses. I knew that I would never be able to comfortably wear those, so I found Dr. Khanna online and went to meet him in person for a consultation. By the time I left the office, I had other options and I knew I could trust him with my vision. I had surgery last year to have intacs implanted and this year I’m going back to have cataract surgery. Dr. Khanna is a skilled surgeon and is always up on the lastest research, so you know you’re going to get what’s best for you. I live in Vegas and it’s worth the trip knowing I’m in good hands. I would definitely recommend a visit to Dr. Khanna if you’re looking for a professional and reputable eye surgeon.

I coudn’t see far before so I decided to do Lasik. I got recomended to Dr. Khanna by my friend. The moment I entered his office I felt very confortable and knew I was in a right place. His staff is so lovely and helpful.
Dr. Khanna answered all of my questions before the surgery and through the whole process of my recovery. I had ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision the next day after my surgery! I am really happy I did this. The surgery itself was super comfortable, it was painless and took about 5 – 10 min. I was up driving and working the next day!
Dr.Khanna is an AMAZING doctor! He is very friendly, professional and experienced. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get Lasik! Thank you Dr. Khanna agian and staff at your eye institute!

Dr Khanna was the first and only surgeon I went to when researching LASIK. I immediately felt comfortable and knew he was the right doctor
Dr Khanna and the staff walked me thru the entire procedure and made me feel very at ease.
I had researched pricing and honestly, with a lifetime guarantee, it’s 100% worth it and not unreasonable!
definitely recommend Dr Khanna, the day after, I had ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision, so crazy!!!

Everything about my experience with Dr. Khannas office was fantastic. The reservation staff is very nice and flexible with scheduling. I had LASIK preformed on both of my eyes the same day, so I was nervous. The actual surgery day was hilarious and fun though! The nurses laughed with me as they lead my blind self around the office during prep, which really calmed me down. Dr. Khanna played some Rhianna during my procedure to take my mind off things. Also, I really appreciated that the nurses and Dr. Khanna would call out each step of the procedure along the way so I wasn’t taken off guard and was prepared. Post-​Op instructions were given and I could easily call the staff anytime I needed clarification. Having the procedure is really amazing, I haven’t been able to see without contacts or glasses for over 20 years, since I was a child. I always had a strange emotional attachment to my blindness (weird I know), and I was afraid I would regret getting LASIK, but I have far forgotten that and am enjoying waking up and being able to see! I must say, if you are deciding to let someone laser into your eyeballs, this is the place to get it done!

I came to Dr Khanna on a referral from a friend without looking into Lasik or other doctors to extensively. I was naturally nervous but knew that years of spending money on contacts and glasses, the headaches and dry eyes from contacts needed to stop.
In my free consultation I was sold! Dr Khanna makes it very easy to feel comfortable, the staff is great and he is willing to take the time to ease any concern or questions you may have.
Got my lasik a few weeks later. The procedure is 15 minutes from when you walk in and start filling out your paperwork, to when you walk out done. Literally 90 seconds an eye and 0 pain ever. I was fearful of shots and pain and there is absolutely none of that.
The next day I woke up with ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision and went out as if nothing had even happened with my normal daily routine. Next week i was ²⁰⁄₁₅ and now a YEAR later yesterday I just got checked by doc khanna and still ²⁰⁄₁₅ with some ²⁰⁄₁₀ even!
I dont ever have dry eyes, never need drops, night vision is better, driving is way better, no effects while surfing or swimming, no headaches from squinting or going a day with only one contact in. Let alone I will break even in a few short years on glasses and contacts cost alone, this was the easiest decision I have ever had to make. Thanks Doc and friends.

Dr. Khanna has changed my life for the better! Thank you so much!

I looked at a lot of surgeons for my Lasik and considered the priciest ones I could find. I saved up the money for well over a year and looked for a good doctor that entire time. I had a specific surgeon in mind who had come recommended by several close acquaintances but when I went in for my consultation he had raised his price to $ 6800, completely non-​negotiable. I looked around and was about to bite the bullet on that insane price when I found Dr. Khanna. His recommendations weren’t from people I knew personally but everything I read about him was glowing.
Dr. Khanna’s price was more reasonable and his credentials were excellent. I still didn’t have enough saved up to pay his fee but when I explained that I had been saving for such a long time his office worked with me to find a fair price I could pay without saddling me with credit card debt. In gratitude I don’t think I should say exactly what I paid but I am extremely confident that there is simply no way I would ever have found a better surgeon at a lower price.
I was not a great candidate for Lasik but my procedure went well anyway. My contact lens prescription was –6.25 with astigmatism in one eye and –6.75 in the other, which is near the upper limit of what can be corrected with Lasik. Also my cornea is slightly thinner than normal (which means there is less substance that can be reshaped) and my eyes are slightly dry. All of these things meant my surgery would be riskier than most. (I would have worried that this report was an attempt to scare me away from cheaper surgeons or talk me into add ons but they didn’t try to up-​sell me on anything and the other surgeon I consulted with said the exact same thing) Even with the added risks I trusted that Dr. Khanna could do it, and I am extremely glad I did.
It took a while but eventually my vision got to be better than it was with contacts. I had been warned that I had a high risk of seeing «halos», rings of light similar to those I saw without glasses, around bright lights after the procedure. These are common in people with light eyes (mine are blue) and high degrees of correction and for some people they last forever. For me it was much worse than most. I couldn’t drive for the first few nights, even though daytime driving was fine the next day. This worried me for weeks but Dr. Khanna assured me it would get better. After a couple months they stopped being noticeable and one night I realized they were completely gone. Now it has been over a year and my vision is noticeably better than it was with contact in all light conditions and at all times of the day (I don’t have to worry about my contact drying out after 10 – 12 hours like I used to.)
I highly recommend Dr. Khanna to all my friends who ask about Lasik. I am very grateful for how much the procedure has improved my life. It was well worth the year I spent saving up money to pay for it. Don’t go with someone cheaper.

I was diagnosed with kerataconus when I was 19 years old. I had had spotty vision since I was 11, but was able to correct with contacts/​glasses. With the kerataconus, I was unable to wear any kind of contacts because they were very uncomfortable. I stuck to glasses and dealt with my vision, which got progressively worse.
In 2008 I decided that I had to do something about my kerataconus. I was browsing the web and found Dr. Khanna and a procedure called InTacs. Within a month (maybe less!) I was having the procedure done.
When one of my InTacs came out a few months later, I was taken care of immediately, and had a replacement one put in a few months after that.
Dr. Khanna and his staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. I am always greeted with a smile from the Dr. when I go for my follow-​up appointments. They’re always so friendly when I go in and I actually look forward to my appointments.
Getting InTacs was the best thing I have ever done for my vision. I went from «counting fingers» to not needing any contacts or glasses! Heck, the vision in my right eye is ²⁰⁄₂₀ and my left eye is steadily improving! If you have kerataconus and want to get InTacs done, go to Dr. Khanna. And when you’re in the waiting room, watching their video, look out for me – I’m the girl in the red tanktop getting the InTacs procedure done. ;)

As a wedding gift for my husband, I paid for his Lasik. We were disappointed when a different (cheaply priced) Lasik Dr. turned my husband away because his wasnt a «perfect» candidate, but we kept looking. We were very happy to meet with Dr. Khanna. His equipment was more up to date than the cheaply priced doctor (scarey) and he was extremely friendly and informed. My husband has since had his lasik and it could not have gone better. He went from 400 to 20 — 15. So while Dr. Khanna may not be the most cheaply priced, we found him to far excel any other the other doctors and we are extremely pleased.
